The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has accused the United Nations Security Council of failing in its mission to maintain peace in the world.

ICRC Director of Operations Dominick Stillhart said that the world is facing armed conflict at an unprecedented level.

Stillhart criticized the international community for failing to work together to end wars and humanitarian crises, noting that the world is caught in a “vicious circle” of increasing violence.
